The long way home

For every destination

There’s a place you’ve gotta leave

Bags packed and straining

Your heart’s a thief

The air is black and heavy

With leaving and steam

The train is waiting at the station

Load up your dreams

Well you can ride those rails

They only tell what you already knew

That’s it’s the long way home for you

She knows all your secrets

Your little white lies

She laid your heart bare

In the heel of the night

When the frustration flares up

And threatens to explode

You steal yourself away

And kiss the road - and curse the road

And you can fool yourself pretty good

What did you go through?

To find the long way home

For you

You can run a long time

Yet even as you’re falling apart

You discover the long way home

Is in you’re heart

Yes you find the long way home

Is you

Out of the loop

I’ve been trying to get connected

But the plug keeps getting pulled

The spark is getting dimmer

The fire’s growing cold

So wrap me up and send me off

I’ve had it with the need

Give my place to someone else

Let the vultures come in to feed

I’m out of the loop

Just not in the scene

Like tightening the noose

The circle decreases

And I’m vanishing

It’s the cult of expectation

It’s a call on your mobile phone

And although the room is crowded

Suddenly you’re very much alone

I’m trying to convince myself

That it doesn’t mean a thing

That snake can hypnotise you

Watch its body, sway and swing

Chorus

And I can feel the weight

Is off me now

I’m tasting the gone and nothing matters here

I’m no one to you

Tomorrow’s getting closer (You’ll pay)

Some day some day

You’ll pay you’ll pay

Despite your twist and turns someday your gonna have to learn

You’ll pay, someway, someday

It’s too late, too late

This time you can’t escape

The sword of Damocles is hanging by a thread

Above your head, your head, your head.

Like a bolt out of the blue

It’s gonna come crashing, down on you

Like a thought inside your head

Grows into fire, under your bed - you’ll pay

Ch

Tomorrows getting closer

The karmas kicking and the stone is rolled away

Quit squirming like a smoker

Cos one way or another – you’ll pay

You can’t hide, you can’t hide

Behind money, behind pride

The trick you never paid, was how to reconcile with fate

You’ll pay, someday, someday

You’re gonna pay - someday

Like a secret, stowaway

Like a hidden, hand grenade

The karma comes around again

All scores are settled, in the end - you’ll pay

Ch

Tomorrows getting closer

The karmas kicking and the stone is rolled away

Quit squirming like a smoker

Cos one way or another – you’ll pay

In it Deep

In the deep blue sea

There are strange animals lurking

Monsters undiscovered giants

When I’m next to you I wanna try it

Because hey…

I want to be in it deep with you x3

Cos baby that’s where we’re going to

In the deep cold blackness of space

We could find out state of grace

Shooting stars and aliens and planets

If there’s a heaven up there I want to be with you on it

Ch

Now darlin’ down at the local pool

I’m standing at the deep end I’m a fool

Come tell me all the things I wanna hear

Cos otherwise baby, you know I’m going down there

Ch

As the years may pass us by

And everything must surely die

Towards the great unknown

Hey baby that’s where we’re going
